Can We Put Tony Snow Under Oath, Too?

tsr-snow.jpg ...maybe that way we can finally get a straight answer out of the guy. Today on "The Situation Room" FOX News pundit Press Secretary Tony Snow tried to explain away the Senate Democrats' call for a Special Prosecutor to investigate Alberto Gonzalez's deliberately misleading lies accidental misstatements under oath.

According to Snow, the administration has been more than cooperative when it comes to the Senate inquiry into the politically-motivated firing perfectly benign dismissal of the US Attorneys. Can someone remind Tony Snow that the White House refuses to let Harriet Miers and Karl Rove testify under oath? Or that they refuse to produce the 5 MILLION+ emails directly relating to the scandal that mysteriously "vanished"? Or... oh, never mind.

John Amato: Tony Snow accused the Democrats of possibly committing treason. He said they might try to play the gotcha game and expose classified secrets to the media if his peeps actually agreed to testify.

Snow: Suppose behind closed doors, where Karl Rove or anybody else would be under a legal obligation to tell the truth, they found something that gave them pause. They could public with it

And if you listen closely----(am I hearing things?) does he suggest that there's another secret spying program going on.  TSP or NSA? Are they one in the same? (transcript below the fold)

BLITZER: Now here's the other problem the attorney general has. A stunning development today. The FBI director, Robert Mueller, also contradicting what Alberto Gonzales says.

SNOW: Well, a classic example of what I'm talking about, Wolf.

If you go back and you look at the transcript, you've got a member of Congress talking about the terrorist surveillance program.

Go back and look at the transcript.

Does Bob Mueller once use the phrase "terrorist surveillance program?"

I'll save you the wait. The answer is no. He talks about an NSA program. It's exactly what I'm talking about, which is that members of Congress are trying to create controversies about highly classified matters, some of which cannot, should not and must not be discussed publicly. And it forces people to give very careful answers that could very easily be twisted by folk on the other side of the aisle.

I held my breath and turned on Fox Opinion.

Confusion, that all it is.

Gotta wonder about a guy who's fighting cancer, yet still dutifully peddles his bosses' colossal lies and delusions every day. He doesn't have a colon and his tumors have metasticized. He's a poor bet to live more than a few more years.

If I were looking at death in the mirror every day like this guy, I'd want to cut the bullshit.

But that's just me.

I believe he's a pathological liar. Lying causes him no stress...(trying) to tell the truth WOULD cause him stress. He lacks sufficient skills for self-examination and introspection to even determine what the truth IS, much less to care whether he disregards it.

Snowball's picture

Why hasn't this been posted? Several days ago I warned not to trust Arlen Specter and that as soon as the Democrats tried to actually do anything about the growing scandals at the Bushevic Justice Department he would do a 180 degree flip. Well here it is:

Senator Specter criticizes Schumer's motives

Senator Arlen Specter (R-PA) had asked Gonzales questions about the need for a special prosecutor on Tuesday. But he criticized his Democratic counterparts for threatening a special investigation in a subsequent press conference Thursday afternoon.

He singled out Senator Schumer, calling him 'precipitous' and suggesting that the New York Democrat, who chairs the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, was thinking about his party's political fortunes and seeking headlines.

"Where there are matters that tend to the committee, customarily Senator [Patrick] Leahy and I have conferred about them," he added. "The fact that [Leahy] has not signed [the letter] is highly significant."

Schumer also held out the possibility that confusion may be driving the controversy over Gonzales' testimony, with the Attorney General having grounds for speaking of 'intelligence activities' other than the Terrorist Surveillance Program.

"I think Judiciary needs to look at it because we've got to get to the facts," the Judiciary Committee's Ranking Republican added.

During the earlier press conference, Senator Schumer hedged on whether Senator Specter would join the four Democrats in calling for a Special Prosecutor.

"Senator Specter, you can read his testimony yesterday [sic], and we'll just have to see," the New York Democrat said, pointing out that Schumer was not in Washington at the very moment.

When will Liberal websites stop taking Specter's substance free bloviating seriously and call him out on it?

Snows response to Pau; Begala was SO funny. He had no argument against him - he just had the knee jerk reaction of "Come ooooooon! Begala? Come ooon! Paul Begala?!" Snow seemed like he was trying to come up with a reason why using Begala was a bad idea, but he was stuck.

I have contempt for the media. I was told Tweety referred to himself when he was talking to Snobjob as a "journalist." LOL

Tweety is one thing an oportunist without any talent.

Bob Roberts's picture

I'm inclined to give Snow a bit of a break. His job, the job of any press secretary, is pure propaganda. Unlike Fox, he's not supposed to report the news or give unbiased commentary. Unlike politicians, he has no constituents whose views he is supposed to represent. He, like his predecessors, is supposed to defend the WH, pretty much regardless.

Snow is not the problem. President Bush and most of the rest of the GOP are the problem.

greentea's picture

Bob Roberts Says:..."Snow is not the problem. "

No, he's not THE problem but he plays his part. He makes a choice to play his part. He CHOOSES to jprovide cover to those that are destroying the fabric of this country. He helps make it possible. Oh yeah, if it weren't him, it would be some other unprincipled hack; that is irrelevant.

If Gonzo says the gang of 8 was not briefed on the TSP, he could always come back and say he was mistaken, they were briefed on the TSP, it was the the other, more intrusive program he was thinking of. Maybe I'm just hearing things, but the way they've been constructing their answers about the TSP makes me think there's more behind the curtain.

Much as I think Snow is another abberrant genus of human, a couple of things occurred as to what's going on with him.
He's on chemo. He is tired of feeling physically lousy for such a long time and that in itself, this draining physical illness depresses the mind.
He is grieving the loss of his wife and young children.
He's sad and he's pissed.

It's tough to maintain anger at him this way.

"Tony Snow accused the Democrats of possibly committing treason."

so is it not a coincidence that almost all of the cleaning house in all branches of the government have found mostly Republicans at fault and caught either red handed or with their hands in the cookie jar. Sure Democrats are not perfect (BY FAR) it just seems like fewer of them are getting court orders and jail sentences than their "conservative" counterparts. I think it is un-american and professionally unethical what tony stands for. when all is said and done, i can see him holding his hands up saying "i was only playing a character like Stephen Colbert." who knows he may get his own show on court tv as a commentary for all the muck that is going to drag on for years staring all his buddies. think of all the really cool inside jokes he could add, he could even take a whimsical satire approach and pretend he is actually a progressive trying to fit into a orwellian society.

just listening to tony snow obfuscate, over and over again, is exhausting, and frankly, annoying as all get out.

What a smarmy, condescending piece of trash. If he's going to joke about the seriousness of the subpoenas, and feign incredulity that a reputable news organization like CNN would lower their standards by quoting Paul Begala, then I'd say Snow is 'fair game'. When is someone at the presser going to ask him, "So Tony, given your record of bald-faced lies, dissembling, belittling Democrats, and being an accomplice to a conspiracy to defraud the United States, why should we believe anything you say?" I bet that would wipe that shit-eating grin off his face. Since he's 'fair game', I feel free to make fun of his cancer, but because I have my own soul to worry about, I'll decline, for now.

If it can't be discussed publicly, then why didn't Gonzales and Mueller say something like "I think we need to discuss that in a closed session."?

Well come on now, have a little sympathy for Tony Snow.

After all not he nor Al Copone could spin or lie this Administrations activities into anything coherent.

And to have to explain down right stupiditis on a grand level is much more difficult than just simply telling the truth. Hell, Tony thinks spinning and obsucating the truth of the business of the American people is what his job is. And Tony has a tough time because he realy didn't spend enough time on radio and taking calls for Rush Limbaugh. Then Tony in his condition is willing to say anything to keep his health care now won't he. A republican earning money from the Government. Really
Tony???????????????????///

For post #122

If Mrs Ashcroft was in the room with Gonzo and Andy Card. Why is it top secret to discuss. Because they discussed their top secret business in front of Mrs Ashcroft and she has no clearance................

Congress should bring in Mrs Ashcroft and ask her. Let the President claim exec priviledge for her too.

I feel like I'm watching a used car dealer explain why my supposedly mint condition 2006 BMW 740 has the engine of a 1972 Pacer. Just seeing his face makes me want to puke on him. I'm talking about the projectile kind of vomit you see in Monty Python's Meaning of Life. Seriously, just spew a constant stream of chunks all over his lying face for a minute or two.

After surviving a life threating illness, anyone with a soul wouldn't be able to do what Snowjob does.

What a legacy to leave to your family. Tony Snow the defender of the most incompetent, disgraceful and despicable administration in history. He's a combination of Tokyo Rose and Baghdad Bob. What will his children and grand children think 20 years from now when they read about the history of this regime and how Tony's dying breaths were spent telling lies and shilling for these cretins.

Why don't they ever do a "Reality Check" lead-in video for these guys?

Forget lead in, why can't they fact check while the guest is speaking? Have a few staffers right there with access to legal docs on line & post them all during the interview,...

I wish I could be as delusional as Snow or Bill O,...

With bush 'approval' at 25% (the 25% at the bottom of the barrel that is, was, and ever shall be there) Snow and the rest are defending a bag of shit heaped on everyone's doorstep. Defending that like it or not, we should all welcome having our neighborhoods sprayed heavily with bags of poison. You say we should Submit to being shaken by the ankles as everything we know as reason and being left in peace and not hating you defend is obsolete, deleted, irrelevant. Here, have some poison. Gee, thanks Tony!
Really, Tony, in the face of your own death it's a human thing to stop the bullshit, especially bullshit as lethal as the one you're promoting. Your kids will go mad. Baaaad karma, pal.

Wolf is a sad, sad little man. I don't know whether he is stupid, a right wing tool, or too lazy to keep himself informed, any of which allows people like Tony Snow to use and abuse him.
It was disgusting watching him literally cower before Snow, carefully qualifying his questions with phrases like "some Democrats say . . . " so that (God forbid!) Tony wouldn't think that Wolf really believed what the Dems were saying. ("I'm not saying this Tony. It's those Democrats. We're still friends aren't we? Gee, you look great!") Snowjob and Blowjob.

Good job on ya Tony. Paid professional bullshitter for warmongering traitorous assholes.
You must feel good about yourself at days end. Any self respecting cancer cell would have vacated your slimey ass long ago pal. I doubt ,many are buying your "Dems are big bad meanies " bullshit anymore. You worthless sack of lying festering shit !

Y'all are all hat and no cattle. Why do you want to know the details about a secret spying program that catches terrorists that are trying to blow us up? What's the matter with y'all? ...unless you have something to fear, of course.

Sorry you bought the farm. don't look now but you're buying pro-pa-gan-da. The spying program is an "information mining project" designed by the terr-ists in the whitehouse to keep track of you, your medical information, whether you're making too much money, what church you go to, where you're going on the internet, what credit cards you have and what your address and phone number is.
Next you'll be asked to get in line to have your "ID chip" injected under your skin so you can be tracked like an animal 24/7!
Sound like fun???

What if they gave a Faux/White House Press Conference and no one came?

When you know the speaker will do absolutely nothing
but lie, and spread disinformation, why on Earth would
you watch the dam thing? Just to have your intelligence
insulted yet again? Unless you enjoy what amounts to
a verbal assault on the truth, watching him is a total
waste of time and personal resources.

DAAAAAAMN! Snowjob is looking real bad. He needs to lay off the spin. His body can't fight cancer AND pure evil at the same time.

The high price of stress!

You think it's easy to lie on a continual basis?

Honestly, I'll always try to support any living creature with such life force as Tony Snow and Elizabeth Edwards -- but has the man completely lost his ability to even think anymore?

Perhaps he just needs to go away and convalesce for a while, for the sake of his own physical, if not mental health..

Please name one citizen (not a terrorist) who has been targeted by these programs. Also check skull for the chip they implanted while you were sleeping. 1984? I got to the part about Newspeak and saw the parallels between liberal PC and Hate speech and I got your point. Thank you.

If the MSM were not owned by the same folks who own the White House inmates, that is, if it were really interested in announcing news, it would boycott White House press conferences and:

1. Either report the real news, or

2. Make up it's own version of the news, just as the White House does, but it would be more fun, because it would be less predictable.

What a trip..I wasn't sure Scruzman was for real, um, relatively speaking. I will rent that for sure. Read 1984 when I was 17. Anyway, thought I needed to address Scruz in elementary terms..guess I was right, ay?
